Translator: Sissy That Walk
He Bai floundered to dodge.
They made a noise until He Bai's face got tense from laughing. Di Qiuhe then took a cold bath in a sour face.
After breakfast, He Bai saw that Di Qiuhe showed no sign of packing up and leaving. He couldn't help asking, "You are not going to find your grandfather? Judging from their conversation, it seems that they are scheming something."
"I've sent someone over there." Di Qiuhe searched out a horror film and clicked on the Play, and signaled the place beside."Come here, let go everything messy when we're on vacation."
He Bai climbed over and doubted, "Is it messy?"
"Yeah." Di Qiuhe remained unmoved and there was no joy of knowing his grandfather's whereabouts."My grandfather was a tough investor who enjoyed freedom. Thus he was sick of my mother for fettering him. Afterwards, he entrusted his child to the care of his friend after my grandmother died of illness. He paid them on a regular basis and pursued his free and easy travel around the world."
He Bai: "..." That was definitely a father beyond evaluation.
"My father's father, or say grandpa, was the one who took my mom in. When my mom grew up and married my dad, my grandfather cut off contact with my family once and for all." Di Qiuhe explained peacefully, added, "Depending on my grandfather's sufficient funds, my grandpa was finally able to set up Huangdu in the first place. Thus I wholly understand my father's fear of me and hatred of my mother. Seriously speaking, Huangdu was co-founded by Di and Fan family, and I'm one of Fan."
He Bai frowned.
"Although my grandfather was not the responsible type, he was truly open-minded about money and willing to spend money on his daughter, whose dowry was utterly generous, let alone the sumptuous wedding ceremony. And that's one of the reasons why Qin Li is jealous. She was an unmarried pregnant concubine when coming to my family. Neither she nor my father did dare to have a wedding, nor my grandpa allow it."
The horror film was playing, but no one was watching.
He Bai sorted out the information he got and asked, "What does Qin Li want to do now through entrusting her, oh, her old lover to trace your grandfather?"
"As I said, my grandfather was a great investor." Di Qiuhe looked at He Bai and pointed to the face."He was rich and not begrudged to spend money on his children. But he was ignorant of when my mother gave birth to me, what I look like, or the news that my mother died long ago or Di Bian and Qin Li are couple now. I'm so much like my mother. Whereas Di Xiasong looks like Di Bian. What do you think my grandfather will do if Di Xiasong pretended to be me to visit my grandfather?
"Transfer the possession of all his property to the grandchildren he has never met." He Bai replied, then collapsed in the Lazy Sofa and sighed, "Zeng Peizhong said that your grandfather was a bit dateless... Holy shit. Then they could do whatever as they pleased."
"That's why I called you a grateful spirit from nowhere, who brings me unexpected pleasure." Di Qiuhe stretched out his hand to catch hold of He Bai's bathrobe belt again, squinted at the screen playing horror film while his thoughts drifting away. Finally he murmured, "I thought my grandfather had died in a remote beautiful country... That will be fine. He's been free all his life, and it's time to let him know, in those irresponsible years he had spent, what had his only daughter that the woman he loved gave birth to had experienced.
He Bai looked at him sideways, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder for comfort.
Everything about Fan Da seemed to be just an episode that they forget about minutes later. They were still on vacation mode by means of watching the film, reading books and enjoying hot springs.
When the housekeeper came to deliver dinner, Di Qiuhe spoke highly of the resort. And then, he queried who the owner of the resort was casually. He praised that the owner was so talented to manage such a distinctive resort.
The housekeeper had never expected it as drawing secret out of him. He complimented his boss in the same way and gave them a basket of high-end fruits for appreciating their favorable comments.
After dinner, He Bai soaked himself in the hot spring and watched Di Qiuhe take out his phone. Di was quite calm, telling someone about the secret meeting between Di Xiasong and the owner of the villa that he happened to see at the resort.
Di Bian expressed his misdoubt! Somewhere must be wronged!
Di Qiuhe repeatedly agreed, and then recommended the resort. Finally he showed filial piety that he must invite Di Bian to have a good time here if Di Bian had time off.
Di Bian responded perfunctorily and hung up the phone in a hurry.
He Bai watched Di Qiuhe throw away his mobile phone and shook his head."Childish Di, you are so cunning."
Di Qiuhe took off his bathrobe and sat in the hot spring. He then took a cup of juice, wobbled it and took a sip, squinted and said, "Di Xiasong brings such a good vulnerable point to me, if I don't make good use of it, shall it be a waste of your early morning outing?"
He Bai snorted and hummed, "Aren't I doing you a great favor?"
"A super one." Di Qiuhe looked at him and smiled lazily and pleasantly. Put aside Fan Da first. Zeng Peizhong, an old lover of Qin Li. Once Di Bian knew she let Di Xiasong met Zeng under the table, he was prone to suspect Di Xiasong, and then the veneer of mutual respect between Qin family and Di Bian should be torn off... Despite Di Xiasong resembled to Di Bian, once he was suspicious of Di Xiasong, there will be no more trust.
The dim light, the vapor on the hot spring, the handsome man who glanced at somewhere sideways, such is life.
He was desperate to snap the impressive scene, yet the camera was in the room, so he could only suppress the impulse and acted coquettishly, "Then, why don't you thank me with a big red envelope, or I'll turn around and sell you."
Di Qiuhe could not help laughing and murmuring, "You are so cute, Pup."
"What?" He Bai didn't catch the words.
"I said." Di raised his voice, leaned over the edge of the pool, looking at him smilingly."If you want a red envelope, beg me."
He Bai scattered the water toward at once to his indignation, "You stingy asshole."
The leisure vacation was always transient. On the last day of the vacation, wore glowing ruddy cheeks, they left the resort and drove back to the hotel.
"It's so kind of the housekeeper of sending us another basket of fruit before checking out." He Bai, in the co-driver seat, picking up the peaches in the basket, casually asked, "By the way, how did it take you so long to check out this morning? Are there many check-outs?"
"Yeah." Di Qiuhe responded without thinking and looked in the rearview mirror at the housekeeper seeing them off. He recalled the morning conversation with Zeng Peizhong and then smiled.
Everyone could be allies as long as one could give what the others need. This resort belonged to Zeng Peizhong. Once someone he sent to country V took Fan Da away secretly, Di Xiasong and Zeng Peizhong would surely realize that somewhere was wrong and got down to check out. He and Pup made no preparation before that, instead of being find out later, which may get Pup into trouble, it was better to take the initiative to be explicit now and won over Zeng Peizhong as well as developed Zeng into an ally, who was obviously dissatisfied with the mother and son.
After returning to the hotel, He Bai went back to the room to rest, while Di Qiuhe went to director Jiang and others for a small meeting.
They had a good night. And early the next morning, He Bai followed Di Qiuhe to the film set with great enthusiasm.
"It's a chase-and-run battle today, there are scenes of climbing up and down on the balcony and house. Qiuhe, you have the experience of Wire stunt, it's your responsibility to take care of Dong Ni." Jiang instructed and emphasized, "According to the plot, you two have already had feelings for each other, and there should be many a lot eye contacts during the pursuit. Qiuhe, the role Cheng Jun is reserved but not explicit, affectionate but not greasy. Have you got it?
Di Qiuhe looked at He Bai with a camera beside him and nodded stiffly.
Jiang Guanshan then turned to Dong Ni."The role Tu Xiu you are playing considers Cheng Jun as a drug dealer. She's confused by love and hate. Thus you should let out your struggle through your eyes. The first scene starts from the middle of the plot, and it may be difficult for you to get into. But don't worry, Qiuhe has got you." He then looked at Di Qiuhe, with eyes full of trust.
Dong Ni looked at Di Qiuhe in the same way.
He Bai raised his camera toward them.
Di Qiuhe: "..." He was stressed out to perform a lovey dovey scene with a woman who obviously yearned for him before his sweetheart.
"Qiuhe, come on!" He Bai waved his fist in a tone full of anticipation and excitement about the imminent gaining of knowledge.
"..." As ill luck would have it, his sweetheart was putting a cat among the pigeons in high spirit beside.
